Grow a Successful Child
Part 1
by Colleen LangenfeldPage: 1 2
As parents, we all want to grow happy, healthy children. Unfortunately, parenting does not come with a guarantee, but there are some practical guidelines we can follow that will point our children in the right direction. Here are the suggestions our family has used in our continuing goal of raising six confident, competent adults (four children and two parents!).
We're in this for the long haul.
As a parent, we are given a long-time perspective just by giving birth. The future stretches out l-o-n-g and fearful in front of us. But kids have no such perspective. Teaching them about cause and effect, in other words, consequences, can help them understand that their thoughts, words and actions, big and small, have meaning and future impact.
We're in this together.
Children are astonishingly selfish, but often not intentionally so. It's just the human condition. Part of parenting is to provide them with opportunities to be around others who are different than they are. Encouraging them (and participating with them) to help others will show them that we all must get along with each other and it's not necessary for us all to be the same. The ability to make and maintain friendships is not just fun, it's vital.
Stability.
Everyone needs stability...not to be confused with a rut! Stability means you can generally count on the people and situations around you, while understanding that life doesn't hand out guarantees. Stability usually comes from the parents, who can only provide as much stability as they currently have themselves.
In other words, if your marriage is on shaky ground, it's going to be very difficult to provide the stability your children need. That is why it's often said that the best thing a man can do for his kids is to love their mother. And vice versa.
Life is hard.
This is a fact and our children need to hear it from us first. However, it's a difficult fact and if we as adults are struggling with this reality, we're going to find it impossible to share it with our kids. The funny thing is, though, that children can often receive difficult facts easier than we can.
All of our children are bright and observant in their own ways, so the truth is that they already know a lot about how life works; they just need help articulating and integrating it. That's where we come in as parents.
Provide your children with fascinating stories of inspiring people who have overcome great obstacles and made a difference in our world. After all, it's easy to FEEL life is bad; the challenge is to DECIDE that life is good!Page: 1 2
